Football's world showpiece kicks in to full swing this summer, find everything you need to know about the FIFA World Cup here
FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, left, and President of Brazilian Soccer Confederation Jose Maria Marin
Where and when does the FIFA World Cup take place?
The FIFA World Cup finals kick off on June 12 in Sao Paulo when hosts Brazil take on Croatia, kick off is at 9:00pm BST.
You can watch that game live on ITV1.
Brazil is the host nation for the second time in the tournament's
history, but it's the first time that the FIFA World Cup has been held
outside Europe for two consecutive years.
A total of 64 matches across 12 cities in either brand new stadiums or redeveloped stadiums.
For the first time in history goal-line technology will be used at the finals. Who is taking part?
Group
A
Brazil
Croatia
Cameroon
Mexico
What the bookies say:
Brazil are clear favourites to win the group at 1/4 and 1/19 to simply
qualify. It would be a major upset if the hosts were not to get out of
their group but it surely won't be an issue as the current crop of
players go in search of Brazil's sixth World Cup.
Group
B
Australia
Netherlands
Chile
Spain
What the bookies say:
Spain are favourites to qualify at 2/9 and understandably so, they are
the current holders of both the World Cup and the European Championship
but if you're feeling lucky you can get 100/1 on Australia to win this
group. Swansea's Michel Vorm could be going to Brazil with the Netherlands
Group
C
Columbia
Ivory Coast
Greece
Japan
What the bookies say:
This is a much closer group than the first two but Columbia are
favourites (1/3) to qualify, however it remains unclear if their star
striker Radamel Falcao will be fit to take part after he tore his ACL in
January, requiring surgery. The recovery time for such an injury is 6 -
9 months but the Colombians surgeon is confident Falcao will be fit.
Don't forget the Greeks, they know a thing or two about causing an upset
at major tournaments and are the outsiders to qualify at 5/2.
Group
D
Costa Rica
Italy
England
Uruguay
What the bookies say:
This is the most unpredictable group of the tournament, you could form a
solid case for three of the teams to be favourites but only two can go
through. Uruguay and Italy are joint favourites to qualify at 1/2.
England are 4/6 with Costa Rica out at 12/1. The Uruguayans have a
dangerous strike force in Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani but have an
under whelming midfield. Italian head coach Cesare Prandelli has used 42
players in the last 12 international matches but with the likes of
Mario Balotelli, Riccardo Montolivo and Emanuele Giaccherini in their
ranks, they're sure to play a part. Gallery: Players to look out for in Brazil

Group
E
Ecuador
Honduras
France
Switzerland
What the bookies say:
Despite having to go into the playoffs to get to Brazil, France are
clear favourites at 1/5 to qualify which is largely down to the draw
being very kind to Les Bleus.
Group
F
Argentina
Iran
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Nigeria
What the bookies say:
Argentina are overwhelming favourites in this group, they are 1/19 to
get out of the group and chances are they will do it at a canter. Head
coach Alejandro Sabella could probably get away with resting the likes
of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero as the three group games will be
little more than a training session for his players. 'Argentina's Lionel Messi playing for his club side Barcelona
Group
G
Germany
Portugal
Ghana
USA
What the bookies say:
The bookmakers think that both
Germany (1/6) and Portugal (4/7) are going to qualify, which is likely
to happen provided Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo gets the service
he needs. The third favourite to qualify is the USA at 3/1 who will be
hoping to toss a spanner in the works.
Group
H
Algeria
Korean Republic
Belgium
Russia
What the bookies say:
Belgium are 1/5 favourites to get out of group H with the likes of
Christian Benteke, Eden Hazard, Kevin Mirallas and Vincent Kompany in
their ranks they have all bases covered and on paper are a world class
outfit.
FIFA World Cup 2014 in the media
Things
are looking up in Brazil! Later this week, the country's president
Dilma Rousseff is expected to open the new Itaquerao stadium in São
Paolo. The celebrations mean that there will be a pitch, with most of a
building around it and perhaps even a bench and a dressing room. Hurrah!

England's
bid for World Cup glory in Brazil this summer could be undone by a
much-feared weather phenomenon. Climate researchers at the University of
Reading say there is a 60% chance of an El Nino event hitting the
country.
The scientists say the complicated meteorological system is likely to cause extremely dry and sunny weather in June and July. Matt McGrath - BBC News
When you connect to this virtual server location and check your IP you’ll
see that you have a working virtual IP address, although the server you
just connected to is located in a different country. You can now expect
improved speeds and better reaction time.
Give it a try – check the HMA! Pro VPN clients server location list,
the PPTP/L2TP server list or the OpenVPN configuration files for the
“Virtual” server locations:
?
When you connect to one of our HMA! VPN servers, you’re assigned an
IP address from the country server you connect to. For example connect
to any HMA! server in America and you’ll get a US IP address. You can
verify this here
Connecting to different countries is great for accessing
geo-restricted content – for example, if you’re in the UK and you want
to watch US television, many US websites will see that you are in the UK
and will block you from viewing the content. A VPN will help you get
around this issue; simply connect to a US VPN server which will assign
you an American IP address. This will allow you to watch the shows, as
the website will now see you as connecting from within the US – you’ve
tricked the website into thinking you are physically in the US.
However, connecting to a country that is far from your physical
location can occasionally result in slower connection speeds and
decreased reaction time which can make streaming online media difficult.
“Virtual Locations” can help solve this problem.
When you connect to a ‘virtual location’ server, you’re assigned an
IP address of the country you would like to appear from, but you connect
to a country server that is physically closest to you. For example, if
you are based in Europe and would like to access the internet from the
USA, you would connect to the UK, London – Virtual USA server.
This will give you improved speeds because now you’ve taken a shorter route, a “virtual” one.
BT has coughed to a crappy glitch with its Home Hub 3A router that is blocking some VPN connections.
However,
the one-time state monopoly appears to have taken a long time to
acknowledge customer gripes, which have been piling up for weeks.
BT said it had taken a while to respond to individual complaints
because it was essentially compiling a dossier so it could pinpoint the
technical blunder.
That's despite the fact that subscribers had
been saying since early March that their VPN connections were going
titsup ever since BT upgraded its kit with a new firmware version.
On Wednesday, BT said in a lengthy thread on its customer forum:
The Hub team have asked us to pass on their huge thanks for all the
help you have given us. The details you have provided have been key to
getting to the bottom of what was going on here.
As you guys thought, the new firmware (4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.37) has
introduced an interop issue between the Home Hub 3A and certain types of
VPN configuration.
We are currently working on a resolution to this and will roll out a
change to the Hub as soon as possible, but this will take time.
In the short term while we’re working on this we can suggest
connecting to your BT Wi-Fi connection as a workaround for this issue.
If you are still having problems having tried this workaround please let
us know and we will offer further support.
The Register has been told by a number of readers that BT had initially fobbed them off about the cockup.
Some
were apparently advised that they needed to buy new routers to resolve
the problem, which – the customers who contacted us claimed – involved
being locked into new 12- or 24-month contracts with BT.
We on the
Networks desk at Vulture Central are delighted to see that the company
is finally accepting the blame for this snafu. BT told El Reg:BT
can confirm that new firmware update has introduced an issue between
the Home Hub 3A and certain types of VPN configuration. We are currently
working on a resolution to this and will roll out a change to the Hub
as soon as possible, but this will take time.
Meanwhile,
it would seem that BT is fighting to wrest the title of "SuperFail" from
Virgin Media – which was previously regularly appearing in these pages
in connection with its router woes. In February, BT said it was "puzzled"
after some Infinity customers complained about being abruptly
disconnected from the fibre broadband network when using the telco's
Home Hub 5 wireless router. ®
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) aren’t the sexiest topic out there,
but they are a pretty vital part of daily operations for almost every
major company and many small businesses. VPNs are used to securely
connect a computer, tablet, or phone to a company's private network over
the Internet, thus allowing people to work remotely while ensuring
strict authentication and enforcing administrative policies. Even some
power users are apt to set up a VPN if they want to make their home
networks accessible while they're on the road.
During the development of Android 4.4 KitKat, the time came to
spruce up some of the lower-level pieces that are responsible for
creating and managing VPN connections. As with any normal code rewrite, a
few bugs crept into the mix. Unfortunately, some of these bugs proved
to be relatively catastrophic to a lot of users, leaving them unable to
conduct their business.
Symptoms
The more involved details of each symptom are hard to explain without
going into very extensive (and boring) depth about network routing and
configurations. Instead, I'm going to stick with the overall effects
that most people will witness when they try to establish a connection.
Tunneling IPv6 over IPv4 simply doesn’t work. In other
words, if you connect to a VPN over IPv4 and the other end supports
IPv6, any IPv6 address you attempt to communicate with will be
unreachable. Everything will appear to be connected and working, but
those data packets simply won't leave your device.
Changing connection types (e.g. from wifi to 3g) will result in a
disconnection from the VPN. The disconnection might be intentional, as
it could be a safety measure to prevent possible snooping. Reconnecting
to the VPN is the bigger issue. Some people claim that they can
reconnect over the new interface right away, some say that they can only
reconnect over the original interface, and some people simply cannot
reconnect over any type of interface without first rebooting. To be
fair, there isn’t enough information to completely rule out specific
apps or environmental conditions.
Some apps use VPN routing to establish tethering connections over
non-standard interfaces (like Bluetooth). When this occurs on KitKat, it
can look like a VPN connection has been established but data packets
fail to travel in either direction. This is known to cause issues for
apps like BlueVPN and Open Garden. (A mediocre workaround for this is discussed below.)
What Is Affected
Each of the issues described here affect every Nexus device running
KitKat 4.4 - 4.4.2. Google Play Edition devices and anything running an
aftermarket ROM based on AOSP should also be affected.
HTC and Samsung devices are mentioned in some of the threads, but
none of the complaints specify if they are running stock Android (GPE
variants or AOSP ROMs). One report claims the 4.4.2 update for the HTC One does not suffer from the Bluetooth tethering bug. Another comment also seems to clear the Galaxy Note 3 of the same bug, but it indicates that the other bugs are probably still be present.
Causes
A root cause hasn’t been clearly identified and there’s still not
enough information to determine with any certainty if these bugs
originate from the same error or if multiple factors are at work. Most
of the problems center around handling of the routing table, so it’s
possible all of these are manifestations of the same core bug.
Workarounds
Unfortunately, the last few months have gone by without any really
good solutions for most of these bugs. In fact, short of offloading the
VPN duties to a router, most people have been at a standstill since
updating to KitKat.
There has been a fairly crumby workaround discovered
by people using HMA VPN to tether over Bluetooth, which is to also be
connected to WiFi at the same time. Yes, you read that right. If your
device is connected to a WiFi access point, even one that has no uplink
connection, it then becomes possible to use apps like BlueVPN and Open
Garden. Of course, this isn’t the most battery efficient or convenient
option, but it might help when desperate times call for desperate
measures.
Fixes Are Coming
On the positive side, all of these issues are probably just about to vanish. A project member dropped into the Bluetooth tethering thread
to mark it as FutureRelease while acknowledging that several bug fixes
are scheduled for the next release of Android. The other threads
relating to VPN issues are still sitting without a change in status, but
it’s likely that many of those issues simply haven’t been marked.
Wrap-Up
VPNs aren’t used by a large percentage of the population, but those
who do use them, rely on them heavily. To suddenly lose access to
networks that are vital for your job can be a crippling experience.
We’ll just have to wait until the next update (probably 4.4.3) to find
out which, if any of these bugs survived, but it sounds like most people
will be able to get back to their normal routine fairly soon.
Canadians have figured out that when it comes to Netflix, they're getting a bit of a raw deal.
Americans and Canadians pay roughly the same price for the video-streaming service, but U.S. customers get more than twice the titles. The situation is the result of a complex licensing environment for movies and TV shows. But it seems many Canadians are unwilling to accept this state of affairs.
An untold, but significant, number of people are turning to virtual
private networks (VPNs) to mask their IP addresses and trick Netflix,
and other geo-blocked services, into believing they reside in the United
States.
A quick look at some analytics from Google shows that there has been a
steady uptick in searches for how to use VPNs for just this purpose
since Netflix was introduced to Canada in 2011.
On average, there are thousands upon thousands of searches each month
in Canada aimed at figuring out how to gain access to Netflix's
American library.
A bevy of new services have rushed to meet the demand. Canadian companies SurfEasy and Unblockus
are two of the most prominent, but there is a whole slew of businesses
offering to help you get around geographical restrictions. There are thousands of YouTube tutorials to help guide you through the process.
But, unless you're willing to use pirated VPN codes that will likely
be unreliable, you'll have to pay. The average fee per month comes in at
around $5, nearly doubling the $7.99 price for Netflix. But many
Canadians seem to think it's worth it.
A quick look at the content that's only available to U.S. users explains why.
Titles You Can't Get On Canadian Netflix
Netflix doesn't condone VPNs and using one clearly violates the company's terms of service agreement.
Nevertheless, Netflix doesn't seem to be doing anything to stop
consumers from using a services that spokesperson Jenny McCabe said are
"like pirating."
But so far, it seems that using VPNs is legal in Canada.
“I don’t think they’re an obvious copyright infringement,” said
Canadian professor and internet expert Michael Geist. “If it gets bigger
we may see efforts to restrict it.”
“I guess my view would be: so long as it remains a relatively small
part of the market it will fly below the radar screen even if people are
aware of it," he added.
Geist, who works as an advisor to SurfEasy, said VPNs are an
important tool in ensuring the internet remains a tool for promoting
freedom.
“I first starting using a VPN when I travelled to China and was
seeking to circumvent their firewall," he said. "These tools are
important for protecting privacy, they’re important for free-speech
issues, and so any attempt to regulate would have to take that into
account.”
But it seems most Canadians are using VPNs to gain access to the
ever-increasing bounty of video content available online. And VPNs
aren't just for Netflix, they can also be used to access Hulu,
music-steaming service Spotify and all the rest of the content protected
by geo-blocking.
And it doesn't stop with the United States. Many VPN companies will
hook you up with an IP address for a number of different countries. The
United Kingdom, for example, has its own unique Netflix catalogue.
Once a VPN is set up (changing the DNS settings on your home router
makes the most sense for the majority of users), you can usually change
your location via your service's website. This makes switching back and
forth between countries easy.
For many, however, the technical details may prove daunting. Enter VPN browser extensions,
perhaps the easiest way to get an American IP. While sometimes
unreliable, these easily downloaded add-ons for Chrome and Firefox make
using a VPN much easier.
